Jon Polito (born December 29, 1950) is a retired American actor and voice artist.
Polito was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is known for working with the Coen Brothers, most notably in the major supporting role of Italian gangster Johnny Caspar in Miller's Crossing. He appeared as Det. Steve Crosetti in the first two seasons of Homicide: Life on the Street and on the first season of Crime Story. Polito won an OBIE award in 1980 for his theater performances off Broadway and for his lifetime of work in film and television he received the Maverick Spirit Event Award at Cinequest Film Festival in 2005. In 2012, he won the award for "Best Actor in a Short Film" at Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival.
Polito is openly gay.
When Homicide began pre-production, Polito was asked to audition, and was initially reluctant - he didn't want move to Baltimore for the series, because he had just relocated from New York to Los Angeles. The script he received featured a dialogue scene between two detectives, one Polish American and the other Irish-American. Polito decided that the part he wanted was that of the Irishman, but he was told that he could not read for it. After reading for the part of the Polish-American detective, Polito added a message on his audition tape, saying that if the producers wanted to call him back, he would only be interested if he could take the part of the Irish detective. Series co-creators Barry Levinson and Tom Fontana did call him back, and they rewrote the character as an Italian, and cast him in the role. The other character, the Polish-American detective, was also rewritten, becoming Det. Meldrick Lewis, played by African-American actor Clark Johnson.

Today we check out a film from my DVR hard drive. That film being the 1995 children's comedy, "Bushwhacked", starring Daniel Stern and the late Jon Polito.

Jon Polito tells a story of why he relies on Prop people to help his performances. An exerp from his Cinequest interview when he won the life achievement award.
Jon Polito was one of the great character actors of our time. He was also a dear friend. On June 30, 2014 I shot a pilot for a show called CHARACTERS where I interviewed Jon about his amazing career. Jon has been in some of the most iconic films of our time including THE FRESHMAN, MILLER'S CROSSING and THE BIG LEBOWSKI. He was candid, funny and above all honest. You never got anything but pure commitment in every Jon Polito performance. He was, in my opinion, flawless. This is a very short distillation from my interview with him. Jon left us too soon and is now the stuff of Hollywood legend. He shall live forever in the movies and his work will be enjoyed by generations to come.
